• Notes

  Have minature. Like Charles also careless and extravagant. He was left Oldbury (6 miles from Bristol) by his Aunt Albinia who had been left it by her husband Mr Winstone. Consequently he added the name Winstone. On the morning after his arrival at the house he found drawn up in the courtyard 200 donkeys from his colliery for his inspection. He sold Oldbury before he came into Quedegely. Tried to raise money by selling parts of Oldbury estate to Duke of Beaufort. 1790 was in debt for £9000. Cleeve Dale (Foyster's Court) sold in 1819 as was the Court House. Tortola sold with Gabriel Winstone Wayne in 1760. When the Kingswood Common was enclosed (1779-1784) he owned Old Farm and two snuff mills.   The donative of quedgeley used to belong to the Dukes of Manchester. In WHW's time it belonged to Mrs Fletcher the widow of a clergyman. She asked him an exhorbitant sum for it, when he refused she cut down some fine elms in the churchyard to spite him, though he offered her twice their value to leave them standing. High sherriff of Glos 1777   He left his two younger daughters £200 ounces of plate apiece. Left property in High S't and Wine S't to two daughters Pack of letter to Betsy Bird 2nd wife (see harry Nisbet) [1] He lost £30,000 in the famous Gloucestershire election between Mr Bromley (Tory) and Admiral Berkeley (Whig) at the end of the 18th century. The poll was kept open for the whole then legal period of 15 days and Bromley won by one vote, but was comptetely ruined by the election. The Haywards like the Selwyns had been Whigs and William's father old "Hey the devil" Proposed Admiral Berkeley. A family feud was caused by William seconding Bromley. During the election William rode postboy to Gloucester for some of the voters, all the regular postboys being hopelessly drunk. [1]
